AbstractNitrogen-doped titania (N-doped TiO2) and nitrogen-carbon co-doped titania (N-C-doped TiO2) were prepared in metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) processes under the controlled reaction atmosphere. The N-doped TiO2 and N-C-doped TiO2 with anatase phase were prepared at 600Â oC under N2-O2-NH3 and N2-NH3 atmospheres respectively. The N-C-doped TiO2 exhibited the high photocatalytic activity for the oxidation of NO under visible-light illuminations. The chamber atmosphere in the MOCVD process plays an important role on the surface lattice structure and nitrogen and carbon content of TiO2. The nitrogen and carbonaceous species on the TiO2 surface, evidenced from X-ray diffractometry (XRD), UV-VIS, and Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), were inferred as important factors for narrowing band gap of titania and enhancement of its visible-light-responsive activity.

ABSTRACTHigh quality GaAs/SiO2 MIS( Metal Insulator Semiconductor ) diodes were fabricated using (NH4)2S treatment and photo-assisted CVD( Chemical Vapor Deposition ). The density of states at the GaAs and SiO2 interface is the order of 1011 cm-2eV-1 throughout the forbidden energy range, which is smaller by the order of two than that of the MIS devices made by the conventional CVD process. The mechanism attributable to the interface improvement was investigated through XPS( X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy ) analyses.

ABSTRACTThis paper reports a procedure for low-temperature nitridation of silicon dioxide (SiO2) surfaces using species produced by catalytic decomposition of NH3 on heated tungsten in catalytic chemical vapor deposition (Cat-CVD) system. The surface of SiO2/Si(100) was nitrided at temperatures as low as 200°C. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements revealed that incorporated N atoms are bound to Si atoms and O atoms and located top-surface of SiO2.

AbstractChemical vapor deposition from (MeCp)2Nb(allyl) at atmospheric pressure yields niobium carbide films at temperatures as low as 300°C. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies indicate that the bulk films contain a carbide phase and a nearly stoichiometric ratio of niobium to carbon. The morphology of the films has been examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

In the paper, zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films are deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) at different substrate temperatures. The ZnO films are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The analysis results indicate that highly crystalline films with high orientation can be obtained at a substrate temperature of 300 oC with 50 ml/min flow rate from Diethylzinc (DEZ). Furthermore, the investigation of optical property shows that ZnO films are transparent, and the peak transmittance in the visible region is as high as 85%.
